Merry Christmas!

Can you believe how long since my last post? The studio has been very busy and that is a great thing, but it has caused this span between posts. We've had a great holiday season and we have taken lots and lots of photographs from Nashville to Kansas City.

I am currently wrapping up necessary deliveries and will take a few days off. I'll then get right in here and begin posting again. I have a lot to share with you!

I want to thank all of you for your continued business and support. I appreciate each and every one of you. I want to wish everyone a very, very Merry Christmas and a healthy and prosperous New Year.

THE END!

I thought this was appropriate to end this series of blog posts!!! Have a great day.

I spent several days at convention. It was wonderful, but tiring and it is good to be back in the studio.
I decided to post a couple of my sessions and hoped you would enjoy the fun ones.

These clients have been coming to me for many years and I want to thank them and all of my clients for their loyalty to me and the studio.

ENJOY!

Long Time

.

Catching up . . . .

As most of you know by now, I'm a grandmother - twice! Yes, Lilly just turned four and she has a brother, Gage, born in February. I have such a great time with them and would love to be a full time grandma. Lilly loves to come to the studio to dress up and she looks at the photos of the young girls in their pretty dresses and insists that she do the same thing. What fun.

Gage is quite the big boy and the happy boy. They came by the office the other day and we just threw them in front of the camera and got a couple of cute shots for you to see. Enjoy!

Last Week

Last week was a very busy time at the studio and this week is looking to be as busy. I was fortunate enough to have a few children that have been in the studio many times before. I'm honored when my clients continue to come to see me year after year.

I was allowed to photograph Reagan and she is as sweet and cute as ever. We did a variety of poses which included a favorite dress and a family portrait. I'm showing one of her with her lovely hair (don't we all wish we had her hair?) and one during her tea party.

Later in the week Ava came in for her six month session and brought her older brother and sister (both of whom I have photographed their first year) and let them take part in her session. Ava joined the tea party, but I've chosen a photo of Brooke and Sean having the tea party and then Ava posing in her lovely dress. Isn't she a doll? Big sister, Brooke has turned into quite the lovely young lady and handsome brother Sean is quite the gentleman!

They enjoyed dressing up in Miss Sheri's clothes and hats.

Binkie Buddies are here . . . . .

Okay, this weekend I have been working on the Binkie Buddie photo shoot. Yep. If you have a baby that likes his/her pacifier and you are concerned about breaking them in the future - these things are for you! They are the cutest. You just put your "binkie" in the mouth of the buddie you have selected - then when it is time to take them off the "binkie" you simply remove it and let them keep the buddie. They have bonded with their buddy and it isn't as traumatic for the child. The web site isn't up yet, but it will be soon. I'll keep you posted and give you a link with it is in operation.

Milo Gallery

Have you guys been to Milo Gallery on Highway 70 in Kingston Springs? It is such a cute place to visit. You want to just hang around in the cool shade in front of the gallery and cruise around looking at the neat "stuff". While there, pop inside the gallery and check out my work they have on display (and for sale) there. Tell Nicki and Ron that Sheri Reno says hello.

Dickens Christmas

Yes, we are talking about Christmas in July! This is the time when photography studios begin to think about what they will offer during the holidays. I'm letting you know that we are planning a DICKENS CHRISTMAS this year. We have the clothing for those of you who want period clothing. We will place you back in time. The time of Dickens.
We will be taking those sample images soon so keep an eye out. Those sessions will be limited and will book quickly. We will keep you posted about this on our blog. Tune in later!

Some Days are Diamonds . . .

Some days are diamonds in the garden. After our first blooming came and went, the second came back even better. I expect the garden to only get better as the season progresses. The weather is beautiful and our new purple chair is ready.

Kayla and Gracie

Today Kayla came in for her senior session. Congratulations Kayla! The session went quite well. We spent a couple of hours inside and outside and time just flew by.

Kayla was accompanied by Gracie (with mom, of course) and I captured a couple of images of her as well. Both subjects were quite delightful! Gracie is 21 months old and you would think she had been coming here since birth. Thanks Gracie!

Fun sessions with Sheri this week!

I have had a couple of "fun" sessions this week with some of my regulars. First of all Rosaleigh came in for her one year portrait session (part of the baby package at Fine Art Photography). At her eight month session, she brought her sister, Lilly so I've posted their black and white image as well. We have to offer equal time, you know!

Later in the week we have Katie. She has been coming to the studio regularly since birth as well. Yesterday was her five year portrait session. WOW, has she gotten tall. I'll post more beautiful images that we took, but I wanted to get these out there this morning. It was a fun day inside and outside at the studio.

Have a great day, everyone. The weather here is perfect for a session!

View My Fine Art Work at BLUE GOOSE

Have any of you been to the Blue Goose Bistro? This place has great food and the people are wonderful. It is located on Sawyer Brown road between Highway 70 and Highway 100 in Bellevue. Rhonda and Craig Sparks own it (owners of Say Cheese in the mall) and the food is wonderful! If you haven't experienced their pizza - - - you are missing out. It is literally the best ever.
I personally love the island salad (ask for Rhonda's famous dressing) and the chicken salad.
The people are very friendly and the service is very personal.
When you go, be sure to look at my work on the walls. They have been kind enough to allow me to display in their restaurant. Everything is for sale. Enjoy!

More Studio Garden Images for your enjoyment

Garden Shots

The garden here at the studio (Fine Art Photography) is the best ever! We (Sheri Reno and Tim) have worked for the past three years to get to this point. Between the deer and the drought, we have finally gotten a garden full of blooms.

We have added a second wrought iron gate and new benches. There are many different angles to shoot from and the garden only promises to blossom more with the onset of the crepe myrtle in the background when they bloom. We aren't sure yet what the cone flower will do, but they won't be missed with all the primrose and coreopsis. Come and enjoy!

You might want to try shooting a tea party in the garden this year. We do offer a variety of clothing!

This is one of the iron gates on the walkway going into the "English Garden". The image has a painterly effect. I hope you like it.

Hot Weather and Flowers

It has turned hot suddenly and some of the crepe myrtle trees are responding to the heat. The other flowers have been in full bloom and I'm in hopes they don't suffer during this extreme heat.

The garden here at Fine Art Photography is beautiful and we are adding the last few new items in the garden. We've purchased a new bench from Milo Gallery and painted a couple of benches. This garden has been three years in the making (due to deer and weather) and this year should be the best for photos so far.

Unfortunately, the cone flowers aren't responding as well as hoped, but others have taken their place in all their glory!

Sheri has placed a budding "Monet" in her garden.
Enjoy!

Okay - - I've been told I need a blog. I'm very new at this so please be patient.
I'd love to hear comments from clients and friends.

I plan to use my blog as my news letter for the studio (Fine Art Photography) and myself
(Sheri Reno). Hopefully as I get better at this - - I'll be able to notify my clients through this
venue.

Right now, I want to let my clients know that I'm planning a shoot in the Destin, Santa Rosa and Gulf Shores areas. I'm in the process of trying to coordinate at this time. Email me if you are interested.

Welcome!

Welcome to the new blog for Sheri Reno 's Fine Art Photography!
